An Accra High Court, presided over Justice Eric Baah, has described Anas Aremeyaw Anas as criminal, corrupt, extortionist, cheat, blackmailer and self-confessed criminal.

According to the court, Anas does not do investigative journalism but investigation terrorism.

The statement was contained in an over three hours judgement read by His Lordship today.

According to the judge, Anas, a multiple Ghana Journalist of the year winner, is a corrupt journalist and not an ace journalist.

Justice Baah said words used by the defendant, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, in a defamation suit best described the plaintiff, Anas.

The court, therefore, dismissed the defamation application on the grounds of lacking merit, and awarded cost of GH¢50,000.00 against the plaintiff.

The court also questioned the intentions of the plaintiff’s sponsors both internal and external, saying if the sponsors are external will they sponsor him (Anas) to investigate the American president?

The judge although made extensive reference to a documentary titled: “Who watches the watchman,” primer by the defendant, subsequently cited other investigative works of Anas.

According to the court, the Head of Tiger Eye PI – an investigation body – modus operandi had been using bribery and corruption to gather information.

The court said it was the reason he refused to primer an investigative piece on international criminal gangs, involving one Baba Tunde who in “Who Watches the Watchman” episode, Ana’s referred to him as blood relation and someone who has bought him with US$100,000.00.

The court said Baba Tunde bought Anas with U$100,000.00 and the latter, subsequently, also bribed a prosecutor, in the trial of the those international criminal minus Baba Tunde, with US$50,000.000, somewhere in 2009.

Deciding on the GH¢25 million defamation suit, the court said the corruption rating agencies had never been kind to Ghana, therefore, persons selected and labelled as corrupt may be unlucky ones and the persons not selected may be the worse one.

Justice Baah, a Court of Appeal judge, added that the claims by the defendant that the plaintiff blackmails people he deem enemies, hence he is evil, criminal, blackmailer, cheat, corrupt, extortionist and among others, are justifiable and true.

The court said Mr Agyapong deserves commendations and condemnations.
